Chennai, Mar 7: All-rounder Kedar Jadhav on Tuesday said he became a different player after Mahendra Singh Dhoni asked him to bowl in international cricket.

The Maharashtra cricketer, who was picked by Chennai Super Kings in the recent IPL auction for Rs 7.8 crore, said , "I firmly believe that I became a different player after Dhoni bhai asked me to bowl in international cricket. I hadn't even dreamt until then that I could bowl and pick up wickets for India."

He lavished praise on Dhoni for supporting players in every possible way and his ability to get the best out of everyone.

"He allows a player to express himself and supports a player in every possible way. He knows how to get the best out of every player, that's his biggest quality," Jadhav was quoted as saying by the CSK website.

He also said he would have done anything to be part of the franchise and hoped to play the best cricket of his life with the team.

"I would have done anything to be a part of Chennai Super Kings. To me, CSK is (MS) Dhoni bhai on the field and I hope to play the best cricket of my life with this team," he said.

The right-handed batsman, who also keeps wickets, said he looked forward to learning from Dhoni as to how to read a situation and adapt quickly.

"Over the last decade, CSK have been one of the top teams in the IPL. So being a part of this team I am sure I will give my best in every game and also learn more from Dhoni bhai as to how to read a situation and adapt quickly," he added.

Jadhav also said that playing under Dhoni would help him as his presence would give him immense confidence.

"Playing under him for CSK, I am sure I will express myself in ways that I have never done before as his presence gives me immense confidence," he said.

The 32-year old Maharashtra cricketer has developed into a part-time off-spinner in ODIs, claiming 16 wickets, though he is yet to bowl in the IPL.

CSK CEO KS Viswanathan said Jadhav was a multi-skilled player, which made him an asset to the team.

"Jadhav possesses multiple skill sets and that makes him an asset to the team," he added.

New Delhi, Jun 12: The BCCI on Friday called off Indian cricket team's short tour of Zimbabwe in August due to the threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The announcement was on expected lines after Sri Lanka Cricket announced on Thursday that India's limited overs tour in June-July was postponed indefinitely.

"The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday announced that the Indian Cricket Team will not travel to Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe owing to the current threat of COVID-19," BCCI secetary Jay Shah said in a statement.

"Team India was originally scheduled to travel to the island nation from 24th June 2020 for three ODIs and as many T20Is and to Zimbabwe for a series comprising three ODIs starting 22nd August 2020," Shah added.

The Indian team is yet to resume training and the camp is unlikely to take place before July. The players will take around six weeks to be match-ready.

New Delhi, Mar 1: Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif on Sunday heaped praise on Ravindra Jadeja after the all-rounder took a spectacular catch on the second day of the Christchurch Test against New Zealand.

Jadeja grabbed a one-handed stunner at deep square leg in the 72nd over to dismiss Neil Wagner, who had to depart after scoring 21 runs.

"Sir Jadeja for a reason! Jadeja Airlines, flying high! Terrific stuff," Kaif tweeted.

In the match, Jadeja also impressed with the ball. The left-handed bowler took two wickets while giving away 22 runs.

On day two, India bundled out New Zealand on 235 runs in the second Test. However, in their second innings, Indian batsmen again struggled to tackle the New Zealand pacers and lost six wickets with a lead of just 97 runs.

India went to stumps at 90/6, with Trent Boult doing the majority of the damage with three wickets.
